As Darren was in danger, he didn't have time to help Weber.
Without delay, he concentrated his spiritual sense and activated the Red-chained Armor to protect himself.
The black god's power poured into the small tripod quickly, where it was strengthened. Then, black god's power surged and formed a protective shield around his body.
Bang!
A split second later, the beast's claws slammed into Darren's body.
The collision caused dazzling light to soar into the sky. The earth trembled, and several deep cracks marred the surface.
Clouds of dust billowed and engulfed everything. When it settled, only a deep chasm could be seen where Darren had been standing. The beast's power was so astonishing that Darren had been smashed into the ground!
As he lay in the ground, processing what had happened, Darren felt as though his ears were ringing, and his head was dizzy. Apart from that, he couldn't feel any pain emanating from his broken body. This was terrible as he knew that the lack of sensation despite being gravely injured was a sign of death.
The strength of a beast at the Celestial God Realm was too powerful. And now, they were facing two beasts of the Celestial God Realm! What made matters worse was that these creatures were stronger than humans at the same level.
Darren gathered himself and activated the sword intent and black god's power in his body. He merged these to form an arrow, ready to shoot at any moment.
"My survival depends on this arrow," he murmured.
Darren remained motionless, ready to strike. His heart thudded in his chest, and he took quick, shallow breaths as he waited for the beast to get close to the rim of the chasm.
A moment later, he felt the vibrations from the beast's footsteps.
Boom!
The earth trembled as the beast smacked the ground, intending to force Darren out of the chasm.
An incredible force of vibration began to push Darren out of the ground.
Light shone in Darren's eyes as he neared the mouth of the hole.
All of a sudden, his body shot out from the ground.
The beast was waiting. When he saw a black shadow rush up, he raised his claw and swung.
Whoosh!
An arrow condensed from the sword intent and the god's power rushed toward its target immediately.
The itchy toxin had already made the beast unable to think clearly. He hadn't expected the human to be able to fight back. Dazed by the incoming attack, he couldn't dodge. As a result, the arrow penetrated his chest and entered his heart.
As soon as the arrow pierced the beast's heart, it exploded and the sword intent it contained spread, shattering half the organ!
After ensuring his attack succeeded, Darren tried to dodge with the last bit of his strength.
However, the beast's colossal claw smashed his left shoulder. Then the creature moaned and fell to the ground, creating a huge crater.
Darren also landed nearby.
"I win," Darren murmured weakly as relief coursed through him.
The respite he gained lasted a short moment, as in the massive crater, the beast's huge body twitched before he struggled to stand!
Darren noticed this from the corner of his eyes. Instantly, he was overwhelmed by hopelessness.
The beast didn't die! He was doomed!
As soon as the beast crawled out of the crater, his enormous shadow blotted the light and covered Darren.
"Hurry up! Save Darren."
"Okay."
A ball rolled over in the blink of an eye and dragged Darren away.
Blood gushed from the beast's mouth as he staggered forward, ready to attack Darren. Yet, he missed his target.
Not only was he in agony from his half-exploded heart, but the toxin also made him unbearably itchy as well. He couldn't hold on any longer and fell to the ground and twitched.
"Wow, that was close!" Lindsay and Finley immediately used their energy to heal Darren.
Field, however, was dumbstruck by the scene.
Darren had killed a beast at the Celestial God Realm! What kind of freak was Darren?
He had underestimated Darren as he was merely at the low-level of the Star God Realm. What a ridiculous thought! Now Field realized that he was actually nothing in comparison to Darren.
A warrior at the low-level of the Star God Realm killed a beast at the Celestial God Realm! If the story spread, it would become an eternal legend that would circulate the Primitive Wilderness.
"Help! Who can help me?"
On the other side, Weber lay on the ground, his body covered in blood.
A huge claw was crushing his leg, and he couldn't move.
